Paxxite is a place to share thoughts and solutions
about preserving the natural world. Human growth and greed have dramatically
destroyed or reduced the size and diversity of our nature on Earth. I hope
we can save what is left.

I believe that the Golden Rule applies as much to how
we treat our planet as to how we treat each other. We must treat nature
well if we want to be treated well by nature.

Of course we will have nowhere to live if we destroy
our planet, but we will have little reason to live if we save ourselves
but destroy the natural environment.

Overpopulation is probably the chief culprit, but human
greed also leads to the selfish exploitation of nature. We are poorer
for every animal species we allow to become extinct.

I believe we are stewards of the Earth. We do not own
the planet. We are its caretakers. Animals and plants deserve to exist
in their own right, not not simply if they can benefit us.
